Chapter 392: Weighing
Su Xi doesn't know whether he's taking a short nap or a midday sleep; either way, his husky‑like brother has completely drained his energy, leaving him exhausted.
By contrast, three‑year‑old Su Yu is really easy to take care of!
While thinking, Su Xi started to complain about Su Yi again.
Su Yi feels so aggrieved! Why, after a nap, does brother no longer hug him or coax him like before?
Wuwu, does he need to nap again? "Brother gets tired and needs to sleep, little Yi also needs to sleep, right?"
Su Yi carefully understood Yang Zhichun's words, and after a while finally nodded.
"Brother, sleep with me!"
If we sleep together, I'll see brother when I wake up!
Yang Zhichun sighs; her son is truly irresponsible! Su Yi, who should be at the age of cuddling with his parents, now clings to Su Xi and won't let go!
How sinful! "Brother, I want to go out and play!"
Su Yi wants to go play on the lawn, but being held by Grandma is boring! "Let's go!"
Su Xi leads Su Yi to the lawn to play, and Yang Zhichun follows.
While Su Yi is playing wildly, Su Xi thinks of his love‑dazed dad and says, "Grandma, you had someone take photos of Mu Jiguang and Zheng Dongping; their relationship isn't clean, better get a Paternity Test for their two sons, and you also need to lock up Su Zeyan, don't give him money!"
"If he foolishly gives the money to Zheng Dongping, and Zheng Dongping and Mu Jiguang flee abroad, we won't be able to chase them down!"
"Now it's not like later; the regulations on cross‑border extradition are still unclear. Once someone escapes, they're gone. Even if we catch them years later, the money will be gone."
"This money is better used by Su Xi for charity than being swindled by Zheng Dongping!" "Alright!"
Yang Zhichun doesn't refute Su Xi's words; she passes the order down, having someone keep watch.
She sees Su Xi and confirms that he is still her great‑grandson! As for why he knows so much, Yang Zhichun believes he'll tell her later!
Su Yi sees Su Xi, as usual, running around joyfully, and even throws the ball to Su Xi, wanting to play together with him.
Su Xi's body is small, but his heart is old.
"Grandma, find a master for my brother, let him practice martial arts; being so lively and active from a young age, he's surely a good prospect for cultivation!"
Su Yu is always praised as a good prospect, and Su Yi, who is even more active than her, certainly is too. It's just that when he was a child he didn't understand, the adults were busy and rarely looked after the brothers, so perhaps he delayed Su Yi.
"Alright!"
The whole scene, with everyone running around laughing, sparked Yang Zhichun's thoughts. If Su Yi has talent, pursuing a path as an athlete wouldn't be bad.
Su Xi, at four, is already relatively calm and smart, clearly a good candidate to take over the company; Su Yi can't inherit the company, but could dominate in another field. The two brothers have no conflicting interests, and such a good relationship might last to old age! When Yang Zhichun waited for Su Yi to come over and play with Su Xi again, she mentioned to Su Yi.
"Little Yi, Grandma found someone to play with you, okay?"
Su Yi tilts his head and earnestly says, "I want brother!"
"Hmm, your brother will also join!"
Practicing martial arts, of course, strengthens the body! It's better for a boy to be robust; if he's weak, later he might not even be able to carry his wife! "Alright! Hehe, brother, we'll do it together!"
"Hmm!"
Su Xi nods, and Yang Zhichun feels that her great‑grandson is becoming increasingly cold.
In the afternoon, the assistant arrived with the results.
"Director Yang, we found the person, but the location is the manor."
Yang Zhichun's face is shocked, "What did you say? Zheng Dongqing is right here?"
"Yes, the result they uncovered is that Zheng Dongqing was ultimately placed in the manor's servant quarters."
Yang Zhichun summons the butler, brings the bodyguards, gathers all the servants in the living room for the assistant to identify them one by one, and she leads the others to search the servant quarters!
Yang Zhichun uses the excuse that a very valuable antique was lost, demanding a search of everyone and their rooms, promising a compensation of 100 yuan after the search! Only 100 yuan!
Just a quick search could earn them two days' wages, so they were eager for more rounds! At the same time, they were curious what exactly was so valuable that was lost—was the main family spending a fortune to find it? Most of the people gathered in the living room were excited, thinking about how to spend the 100 yuan they'd get. A few with guilty consciences exchanged glances, hoping the items were well hidden and wouldn't be found! Their expressions were odd, which the assistant noticed. The assistant ordered the bodyguards to keep an eye on those few and not let them go.
Su Xi, holding Su Yi's hand, goes with Yang Zhichun to search the people!
Su Yi thinks it's a game and runs around excitedly.
"Brother, there's big hair here!"
Su Xi rushes over and indeed sees a woman's hair, "Grandma!"
Yang Zhichun goes over, pulls it apart, and sees a woman whose breath is like a wisp of air, her lower body stained red with blood.
"Hurry, take her to the hospital!"
Yang Zhichun guesses it's a miscarriage! In this case, the Su family's doctor can't save her! She calls the butler over and has him take Su Xi and Su Yi with him.
Su Xi flips his hand and pushes his brother to the butler.
"Butler Uncle, remember, whether Zheng Dongping or Su Zeyan returns, they must not be allowed to touch the brother, nor take the brother away! Otherwise the brother will lose his life!"
"Grandma, I want to go with you!"
Su Xi's eyes are watery, pleading as he looks at Yang Zhichun.
Yang Zhichun's gaze shifts between the woman, Su Xi, and Su Yi.
"All together, the butler should take good care of the two children!"
Yang Zhichun gets into the car first, letting the butler put Su Xi and Su Yi in the back vehicle.
The two cars speed away from the manor, while the servants remain arranged by the assistant in the living room, still being moved out. He also, following Yang Zhichun's orders, called the police, waiting for them to take over the interrogation!
Yang Zhichun greets, and an ambulance from the hospital drives in, taking over the woman on the stretcher midway.
The nurse gives the woman basic cleaning, and Yang Zhichun also sees a face resembling Zheng Dongping; she must be Zheng Dongqing.
From the back car, Su Xi prays constantly, "Zheng Dongqing must survive!" Upon reaching the hospital, Su Xi darts out of the car first, looking at the woman with closed eyes being pushed to the emergency room, tears spilling from his eyes, "Please, you must stay alive! Please! Don't abandon me and my brother! Please!"
Yang Zhichun watches Su Xi crying in agony, freezes for a moment, then immediately scoops him up and runs after the stretcher.
Su Yi sees brother and Grandma leave him behind and run ahead, lets out a "Wah" and cries again! "Wah—wooo!"
The butler follows behind, also holding Su Yi, chasing after Yang Zhichun and the others.
The operating room lights flash on!
Yang Zhichun made several phone calls in the car; she leveraged her connections, and all the Doctors who arrived for the consultation were famous.
"Don't worry, I had someone call the best Doctor; as long as the person hasn't died, we can still go abroad for treatment."
Su Xi, holding Yang Zhichun, wailed "wah‑wah"! He cried over the grievances of having once single‑handedly supported a whole family, over the neglect he endured from his parents since childhood, over his mother's suffering at home that he had never known…
Su Yi, seeing his brother cry, immediately wailed even more miserably than his brother! The two brothers' cries formed a duet, making Yang Zhichun's head throb. She promptly asked the butler to call her husband over to share the burden. Su Zhengda rushed over and was handed a dirty, crying lump. He recognized it as his own little grandson, and hurriedly embraced him to soothe him.
"Little Yi, don't cry!"
Su Zhengda was about to call Su Xi over to help soothe, but when he turned his head, Su Xi was also crying.
"What's going on?"
Su Zhengda looked at the emergency room and asked, "Who is inside?"
Before arriving at the hospital, Su Zhengda had seen the renegade son Su Ze Yan, so it definitely wasn't him inside.
Zheng Dongping? Unlikely! If Zheng Dongping had an accident, the renegade son would have arrived before him, and the wife wouldn't have failed to call the renegade son over.
Su Zhengda racked his brain but couldn't figure out which one had an incident; how could these two brothers be crying so miserably!
Yang Zhichun was busy soothing Su Xi and had no time to answer Su Zhengda.
The Doctor rescued him for a long time, and the money was spent like running water. That's because the Su Family is very wealthy; ordinary families couldn't afford such expenses.
After several hours, Su Zhengda and Yang Zhichun could no longer hold out and ate something, but Su Xi refused to eat at all, preferring to stay hungry.
Su Yi has always tried to follow his brother; when his brother doesn't eat, he doesn't eat either.
Yang Zhichun had to ask the butler to go back first, prepare some light meals, and bring some for the two brothers as well.
Yang Zhichun believed that once the person inside was rescued, Su Xi would be willing to eat. When Su Xi ate, Su Yi would naturally be willing to eat too.
Su Zhengda and his wife Yang Zhichun each held one, waiting at the emergency room entrance.
"The patient has been rescued, but will find it difficult to conceive in the future; the body's depletion is severe, and there may be other issues later, requiring a joint consultation."
Considering the Su Family's strength, the Doctor added, "Yang can take the patient to see an old Chinese doctor."
Regarding nourishment, those old guys have many prescriptions, more experience, and their abilities surpass those of these Western Doctors. With Yang Zhichun's status, she can still afford to hire them.
Old Chinese doctor? Su Xi knows that most old Chinese doctors are elderly and only see patients they cannot refuse. Their family is indeed powerful now, but they are merchants, and their resources don't match those of officials.
Su Xi saw Su Zhengda carrying Su Yi to the restroom, and quietly whispered into Yang Zhichun's ear, "I know where the Xu Family's lost precious granddaughter is!"
The Xu Family's precious granddaughter went missing, and this has caused a big stir over the past two years. Yang Zhichun has heard about it. Xu Mingyue of the Xu Family offered an enticing price! If they could find the Xu Family's granddaughter, the favors here would…
Yang Zhichun looked at the grandson in her arms, then thought about the family business, weighing it several times.
Su Xi pleaded, "Grandma!"
"Huh!"
Yang Zhichun exhaled; she didn't know why Su Xi had suddenly become so precocious, but she instinctively felt that Su Xi was harmless to the family.
"You're awake now, so I need to tell you clearly. The family assets will still go to you or your brother in the future. The better the family is, the better you can be later; that information can be exchanged for more and more important things. Think it through—once you do something like this, you can't regret it!"
"She is still alive, so it may not be necessary to trade that information."
Before confirming that the woman inside is the mother of Su Xi and Su Yi, Yang Zhichun felt guilty about the money spent.
Even if it were confirmed that the Zheng Dongqing inside is the one who gave birth to Su Xi and Su Yi, she would give Zheng Dongqing a lot of money and could support her, but to exchange something that could affect the Su Clan's future? Yang Zhichun still felt reluctant! "Grandma!"
Su Xi's tearful childlike voice rang out, and Yang Zhichun took a deep breath; she saw Su Zhengda returning while holding Su Yi.
With red eyes, Su Xi in her arms, Yang Zhichun closed her eyes and said, "If she really is your mother and is willing to stay and care for you, then exchange!"
She does all this precisely to give the children a better future! She is almost at a breaking point with her son, and she doesn't want to hurt the two grandchildren! One less benefactor is one less benefactor, anyway the family's current days are fine. Most importantly, the two children must grow up healthy!
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"Hmm, the butler has brought the food, you go eat quickly!"
"Alright!"
Yang Zhichun held Su Xi and took him to the single deluxe ward where Zheng Dongqing was, letting the butler watch the two brothers eat, while she went out to explain everything to Su Zhengda.
The single deluxe ward had a table and chairs, and the two brothers ate silently.
Su Xi ate while also taking care of his clumsy little brother.
Yang Zhichun looked back at the scene and no longer felt sorry about the information that could be exchanged for many benefits with the Xu Family.
Su Zhengda listened and pondered for five minutes.
"For now, don't tell Su Ze Yan; he's too impulsive."
Su Ze Yan's personality is just like Su Zhengda's prematurely deceased and foolish grandfather. Su Zhengda used to scold the renegade son, and now wishes he had never had this son. His wife is so clever; how did Su Ze Yan not inherit any of that?
Regarding his grandson wanting to trade that information for a doctor to treat Zheng Dongqing, Su Zhengda didn't object.
He felt sorry for the two kids! Because he hadn't taught his foolish son properly, he harmed the two grandchildren and also the girl in the ward.
Su Zhengda really couldn't understand, "Tell me, how could Su Ze Yan be so stupid that he can't tell whose bed he's sleeping in?"
He doesn't get it! Su Zhengda can tell from scent whether the one close to him is his own wife, yet Su Ze Yan, this stupid thing, isn't it true love? How can true love still not recognize a person? Yang Zhichun rolled her eyes in anger, "Go ask him!"
The nagged Su Ze Yan yawned, stormed home! He wanted to report his work to Su Zhengda, only to find his father had already left without informing him.
Su Ze Yan's mind switched, and he guessed that his father was about to force him to return home to deal with the two little brats.
He felt especially helpless! He and the two little brats despised each other; what good could come of getting along? Both the older and younger treat him as an enemy; only a brainless person would shamelessly force himself to go near them!
Su Ze Yan returned home to an empty house, with no servants, and neither his father nor the two children present.
"Dad?"
"Mom?"
"Su Xi!"
"Su Yi!"
No one answered, and Su Ze Yan frowned!
Did they move? They moved without telling him? Do they still not consider him family?! The assistant brought Su Xi and Su Yi's belongings down from upstairs, and upon seeing Su Ze Yan, wore a complicated expression.
If the matter that Yang asked him to investigate is confirmed… on the head of this Eldest Young Master, that wouldn't be an ordinary green!
Su Zeyan saw the assistant, his expression dissatisfied, "Where's my dad?"
Su Zeyan saw Su Xi and Su Yi's clothes, guessing if those two little brats were sick? Both of them sick? Their family has a family doctor, so they don't all need to go to the hospital, right? Thanks, dears, for the votes~ Update is in the early morning, this is the 28th~
Good night, dears~
